I sent the exact same item and ordered the priority mail and the charge for the first label was 7.40, the second 7.88 and the third 8.80.  Why was the price going up on each mailing.?

$7.40 is for Flat Rate Envelopes (12-1/2" x 9-1/2" or smaller)

 

$7.88 is for a Priority Mail Service using your own packaging to Zone 5
$8.80 is ditto but to Zone 8

 

The US territory is broken up in to delivery zones based in comparison to your originating zip code. Some zones are closer and some further away, thus costing more. The higher the zone number the further away.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
